Will Resume Publication
In Print and Online

NEW YORK CITY -- Editor & Publisher,
the only independent news organization
reporting on all aspects of the
transforming newspaper business, will
resume publication in print and online
following its sale Thursday from The
Nielsen Company to Duncan McIntosh Co.
Inc., the Irvine, Calif.-based magazine
and newspaper publisher.

The announcement came exactly two
weeks after the closing of E&P, the
acknowledged "bible of the newspaper
industry," which can trace its roots
back 126 years.

Duncan McIntosh said he knew immediately
when Nielsen announced in December the
closing of E&P that he wanted to keep
the magazine and its digital
newsgathering properties going.

"Such a critical information source
for a newspaper industry so
desperately in need of help should
not go away," McIntosh said. "I've been
a reader of E&P over the course of
30 years and know its incredible value
to readers and advertisers."

Terms of the transaction
were not disclosed.

Charles "Chas" McKeown, who will
continue as publisher of E&P, hailed the
sale and the speed and professionalism
with which McIntosh and Nielsen
completed the transaction. "Everyone
knew what was at stake here," McKeown
said. "Newspapers, which are transforming
beyond the printed page to all forms of
digital media, simply could not lose the
one place where the industry could have
a conversation with itself and exchange
ideas and best practices for navigating
the uncertain waters ahead, exemplified
by our Interactive Media Conference which
includes cable, TV, radio and other media."

Duncan McIntosh Co. Inc. is the
publisher of several well-respected
boating magazines and newspapers,
including Boating World magazine; Sea
Magazine, America's Western Boating
Magazine; The Log Newspaper; and
FishRap. The company also produces
the Newport Boat Show in the spring and
the Lido Yacht Expo in the fall.
Both shows are held in California.

Mark Fitzgerald, a 26-year veteran,
was named as the new E&P editor. He
had most recently served as E&P's
editor-at-large.

"I'm of course grateful to Duncan
for stepping up to keep E&P alive, and
I've been extremely impressed by
the passion and energy he is bringing to
this enterprise," Fitzgerald said.
"I'm humbled to be leading a news
organization that I've always believed
produces one of the best news
reports of any industry sector."

E&P's new owners announced plans to
publish a February print issue and
continue the monthly print publication
schedule. Online reporting on its

transaction Thursday, as did posting on
